Hardly an element was wanting to render
the scene at the Stock Exchange yesterday
dramatic. Almost while the words ANNOUNCE
ing the death of one of the members we've on
his lips, vice-president Hill dropped dead. In
such circumstances no one was In mood Tor
business, and the order of the Governing Com
mttee was sea, cely needed to put an end to
transactions in stocks. The tribute paid to
Mr.. Hill in closing the Exchange was unusual,
but deserved.
Lord Aberdeen talked in right manly fashion
to the repres atives of the Irish Fund Parlia-
nentary Association. With such spirit it
is no wonder that he won the goodwill Of
Irishmen while Lord Lieutenant. He pre-
diets the ultimate success of Home Rule, which
observers at this distance have not been doubt
full of in spite of every setback. He divides
Irish Americans into three classes, and sug-
gests that English opinion regarding them
would be greatly changed If English people
could see them as he has DONE He is EVIL

press himself in clear and telling way.

which was taken in for repairs some time ago,
will, in fact soon be in complete operation
again. An article in our local columns tells
how compact was arranged between Hill
and Cleveand's friends, whereby the President
was to have fair field in 1888 and, in return,
was to put no obstacle in the way of Hills am
bition in 1892. This p ogramme has been
dsarranged by the occurrences of the last few
weeks, and the Governor is not at all difiident
in Selling the opportunity to bring himself
forward as tho Democracy's only hope. "A
sample Of his supporters feeling toward the
Administration is Lieutenant Governor Jones's
public denunciation of the scheme to return
the battle-Hags to the South.

suppression of the National League when Co

We call attention 10 the advertisement
CT a remedy which has stood the test OF
more than q half century with increasing
popularity, and is universally admitted
to have no equal as a remedy for the
cure OF diseases originating in a dis
ordered Liver, such as Dyspepsia, Bill
iousness, Constipation. Headache, Collie,
etc. Simmons Liver Regulator is simple
and harmless, purely vegetable, and can
be safely and advantageously used under
any circumstances. 1t acts mildly and
eGectually, and is especially valuable as
a Family Medicine. which position it
holds in so many homes. We do not
know another preparation which can
bring forward such endorsements from
heads of families and those holding the
highest official and social positions
Keep Simmons Liver Regulator in tho
house and it viii reduce your doctors

and happiness.
It seems strange. but it is nevertheless
true, that the world contains people who
will try to initiate, counterfeit, or sub
stitgte something else for genuine,
mcy;torious article, even to the extent of
making a spurious medicine, risking life
and health, and it behooves every one
TO look that they buy only the genuine.
